So, I've been using the Schmidt & Bender 3-20×50 PM II Ultra Short Riflescope for some time. I've used it for the largest DMR competitions we have here nationally (think gas gun PRS style, but shorter distances and somewhat larger steel targets). Great fun!

This specific riflescope is a contract overrun for the Colt Canada C20 with a custom Canadian Cerakote, and uses the Tremor3 reticle.

I did a review for TFB, which is not easily transferable to this format so I hope a link does it.

The latest DMR competition involved starting inside a Ford Estate, behind the steering wheel. Then shoot 2 steel at 500 meters from the back window, the hood/bonnet, top of the roof and from the ground.

Great fun!

Found this to be an odd feature for TFB...been more than a minute since this optic has been out...so much so I had to chuckle at the comparison to the old 3-20x50 which most who aren't aware of the US surely aren't going to know or ever see the older full-size model.

It was just to provide a background on the development.

Nice review man.

I’ve had a few 3-20 US scopes over the years and I find the optical clarity in the 3-20 would be better than the 5-20x50.

I personally like the tremor 3, and don’t have a problem, ignoring most of the stuff, but I don’t need it.

I’ve gotten older. I’ve decided I like 6–3 6X 56, and have several of those with the GRiD… and I love that practical because it’s just easy to use it has a better eye box than the 5–25x56.
